Its so funny seeing companies go "oh we use GenAI for ideas when we're stumped!"
You know what I do for inspiration? Read a manga, play a game, watch a movie, go outside and peoplewatch, etc
There's so many things I CAN do for inspiration instead of asking ChudGPT to generate ideas for me

The fact that there are folks that are all right with being billionaires while countless people starve, freeze, and otherwise suffer from a lack of funds shows just how depraved capitalism truly is and how badly we have failed as anything even resembling a moral or ethical society.

Be proud of yourself and what you can do, no matter the end result--because YOU made it. <3
the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

wrote my first #blog post about some shenanigans that would often ensue when serves crashed when i worked in sales. you can read it over here! maralados.bearblog.dev/lol-servers-...
sales, crashing servers, and lots of bullshit
If there's one thing I never imagined myself doing, it's sales. It's not a career path I ever envisioned for myself, and after trying it, I hated it so much ...

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈
firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now

AI is huge net negative on society and benefits nobody but the super rich.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality
